CANCELLATION / REVISION:

Not applicable. 

REASON:

Chafing between the fuel pump electrical harness and fuel pump tubing was detected 

during scheduled maintenance. We are issuing this AD to protect the fuel pump harnesses against chafing 

with other parts inside the fuel tank, which could present a potential ignition source that could result in a 

fire or fuel tank explosion. 

Since this condition may occur in other airplanes of the same type and affects flight 

safety, a corrective action is required. Thus, sufficient reason exists to request compliance with this AD 

in the indicated time limit. 

REQUIRED ACTION:

To inspect and to attach with clamps each electric fuel pump harness to the respective 

pump tubing. 

COMPLIANCE:

Required as indicated below, unless already accomplished.

145-28-0030, revision 01, dated October 22, 2010, or further revision approved by the ANAC. 

(1) Do a Detailed Inspection (DET) for chafing on the electrical harness of each
